Effect of different ankle braces on lower extremity kinematics and kinetics following special-induced fatigue for volleyball players with functional ankle instability.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of different ankle braces on functional ankle instability (FAI) participants following special-induced fatigue, which will provide advice for preventing ankle sprains in volleyball game. Methods: A total of 18 male collegiate volleyball players with FAI were recruited. The kinematics and kinetics data were acquired from the participants during single-leg drop landing using the infrared motion capture system (Mars2H, Nokov, China) and the force platform (Bertec, USA). A 2 × 2 within subjects design ANOVA was adopted to analyze the data. Results: Whether fatigue or not, soft and semi-rigid brace reduced the ankle inversion ( Conclusion: Soft ankle brace reduced the sagittal range of motion pre-fatigue. Since volleyball requires athletes to jumping and landing repeatedly, and the ankle sagittal ROM was an important cushion during landings. Thus, soft ankle brace might result in overuse injury for lower extremity. However, the semi-rigid ankle brace increased the dynamic stability in the medial and vertical directions, and reduced the ankle inversion angle and forward ground reaction force post-fatigue. This ensured that the volleyball player's ankle was in a neutral position during landing, reducing the risk of excessive inversion caused by contact with the opposing player during spike and block.
